When I heard a young woman calling Gavin, I did not know why I immediately became more alert. I was not about to open the door for her, so I dodged it. "Gavin is on a business trip and not at home."
The woman even said. "I know, the person I'm looking for is you, Darcey."
Suddenly my heart skipped a beat. I had not offended a woman lately. Who would mention my name and come here for revenge? Or would Jeff's people come here to cause trouble once Gavin was gone?
I could not explain why. Then I saw the woman alone. She was beautiful and flirtatious, but also thin and weak. It was hard to tell she was a person who could kill me. I opened the door and asked. "Why are you looking for me?"
The woman's lips twisted into a smile. "What is the matter? Are not you afraid? You were pretty scared earlier, were not you? I thought you were going to call Gavin."
Although it was the first time I had met her, I had a very uneasy feeling. "Who are you?"
The woman raised her eyebrows and looked at me, "Do not you know who I am? A woman who is unable to clearly see the enemy's situation will definitely fail." Then she took out her mobile phone and waved it in front of my eyes. "Well, I better call Gavin back. Let us talk."
"Lunatic!" I did not want to talk to her and was about to close the door, but she suddenly pressed her foot against it.
By this time her phone had rung. Afraid that I would not hear her, she deliberately put it on speaker. "Hello, Gavin, I am back."
The short words suddenly silenced the other side of the line. Looking at the familiar number, I was flustered, remembering only a name, but I was not sure.
Until Gavin asked doubtfully. "Blake?" Now I completely understood.
Gavin said eagerly, "Where are you now?"
Blake smiled slightly, "I am in your house now, but there seems to be a 'hostess' in your house who will not let me in."
Gavin hurriedly hung up after saying, "Wait till I get back." Suddenly, a slight shiver came over me. It turned out that Blake could cause big trouble in Gavin with just a few words. What was the purpose of my existence?
I was in no mood to resist, so I let Blake in. When I saw her sitting on the sofa, the memories of Gavin came back to me.
We have been together, fought, off and on. It turned out that my feelings and trust in Gavin had always been just one-sided wishful thinking.
I dragged my exhausted body back to my room. As I lay on my bed, my mind was blank. And I did not even know what to think.
Blake sat silently outside, wondering if Gavin would blame her for not entertaining the guest properly after he returned, on the condition that Gavin thought she was a guest.
What really surprised me was that it took Gavin less than two hours to get home. He probably chartered a helicopter and flew all the way back to the roof of our building. Just to see Blake, who he had not seen in many years.
But to my relief, when I heard him open the door, he hurried straight into the bedroom to see me. He was worried about me, but I did not know what he was worried about.
I sat up and looked at him with some difficulty. "Why are you back so soon?"
"No, nothing." Gavin still seemed to be in a dream. He held the door handle tightly, not daring to look at the person sitting in the living room. It seemed as if he were afraid of Blake's disappearance.
